Last night was date night for my wife and me. As locals, we usually try to make reservations, especially on a holiday weekend, but we failed and had to take the very risky chance of not getting a table. Just one of my many first-world problems. We used to go to Wine Merchant for the Grassy Bar oysters as often as we could, so we were very excited to hear about the new spot, Grace and Rose. The newly remodeled farmhouse is nestled away from the busy downtown square, which, for a local, is a plus on some nights. It's not far from downtown, but lucky for us, we know how to drive. We were greeted by the owner, who has always been gracious with us, and let her know we had failed at getting a reservation. She was kind enough to let us sit at the bar so we could be seated right away. This already felt right. Not only was I incredibly happy to be there with my wife -- who looked stunning, by the way -- but I was also impressed with the remodel of the home. The revamping of this old house was done in such a unique way, staying true to the historical architecture while adding modern details and touches that somehow sexified the place in a completely consensual way, of course. Christina, who I believe runs the wine program, was absolutely incredible -- fun, engaging, and genuinely happy to serve us on our date night. She guided us through the menu, made some suggestions, and let the races begin. We started with a half bottle of Taittinger bubbles paired with our favorite Grassy Bar oysters. We ordered the goat cheese stuffed dates drizzled with a hot honey glaze. F me in the goat ass, that shit was fire. I may or may not still be thinking about those little bastards. How I would totally adopt them, raise them as my own, give them my last name, and keep them out of foster care for as long as possible. Say what you want about kale, but this kale and fennel salad had me rethinking my entire existence. Should I just go vegan? Because this shit had me turnt. The acidity of the lemon complemented the delicious Parmesan that hugged the salad like a great auntie who really loves her nieces and nephews. Some delicious bread and whipped butter arrived shortly thereafter. The butter was so easily spreadable and luxurious it could make any dominatrix pay to be whipped instead. We ended up sharing the roasted carrots, which were laid over a delicious tangy base, along with the steak, which was cooked slightly under medium rare -- but honestly, I didn't mind. I was ready to get dirty. The steak fries appeared to be made in-house: perfectly crispy, just soft enough inside, and kissed with exactly the right amount of salt. The evening led us to a glass of rosé followed by a delicious red, all suggestions made by the wonderful and impeccable Christina. The farmhouse was packed, but not in a way that felt loud or overwhelming. We could still carry a conversation. It felt like an actual home filled with people eating family-style food that was elevated and thoughtfully executed. My appreciation for service stems from having worked in the service industry myself. We recognize the hard work owners put into their food, as well as the efficiency, dedication, and commitment their staff brings to customer service. All of those things were achieved last night and then some. The mix of locals and tourists all under one roof, in one family home, eating their own specific dishes and drinking their own specific wines, made this place feel like more than just another crowded restaurant. It felt romantic, intimate, and somehow like a well-attended family gathering all at once. Thank you, Grace and Rose, for continuing to provide a unique space where people can come together to enjoy thoughtfully curated food and good company -- especially for the rest of us heathens who just want to get out of the house and not cook dinner on a Friday night. Cheers. read more

Dinner at this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip to Paso Robles. It's a cute farmhouse style located in a residential neighborhood. If we didn't already have plans to dine there, we probably would have missed seeing it. Sitting on their porch for dinner was so peaceful. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We were told that their menu changes with the seasons. We shared a beet salad to start, and it was so fresh and delicious. I had a pasta dish that was surprisingly good. My husband had the steak and he loved it. We ended with their basque cake for dessert. If we were staying another night, we'd probably have eaten there again. read more

Had a really great dinner here. The space is beautiful and the overall concept feels fresh and thoughtfully executed. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only slight drawback was the noise level; it can get pretty loud inside but that's somewhat expected given the set-up. That aside, the food was excellent, interesting and well-presented. I'd absolutely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great new dinner spot in Paso. read more

Grace & Rose in downtown Paso Robles is an absolute delight. The restored farmhouse setting is stunning, inviting, and incredibly romantic. This is a perfect date night spot! The service is top-notch, from the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the onsite sommelier who helped pair wines beautifully. We loved that the owners personally checked on tables. The food was outstanding. The goat cheese stuffed dates were a perfect sweet and savory starter, the pork chop was juicy and flavorful, the branzino was cooked to perfection, and we finished with the incredible Gateau Basque cake for dessert. Every bite was farm-to-table fresh and memorable. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back! read more

Made a reservation for day 2 of their grand opening last Saturday 8/2 and wow - what an amazing meal. We sat outside on the patio, which got a bit toasty since it was a hot day but wanted the experience. Next time might opt for AC indoors. We ordered: - Country loaf and butter (5/5): lightly toasted, delicious butter - Lamb meatballs (4/5): special of the day but the lamb meatballs were small and hard, not our favorite - kale and fennel salad (5/5): opted for lightly dressed which was perfect, good texture lots of cheese - summer squash (5/5): perfectly grilled - brick chicken (6/5): best chicken of my life probably, so moist. Dreaming about this for a while - sea bass (5/5): also perfectly cooked - basque cake (4/5): not our style but it was the only dessert that day, a bit dry - espresso (4/5): not pictured that went with the cake - ultima tulie cab franc (5/5): 2023 was a great vintage, generous glass pour Can't wait to be back next time in Paso! read more

We finally got to go to Grace & Rose for my birthday and I had the best time!! To start, the host was super nice and accommodating (even gave us her own chair to sit us at the wine bar since we walked in with no reservation) and the service from Kristina at the bar was delightful. We ordered all their apps and I was obsessed with the dates and goat cheese, and their bread was yummy as well!! My husband and I shared the steak tenderloin and subbed for smashed potatoes and it was SO good!!! Still thinking about it. They had a great wine list with lots of local wine but also international which is fun as a Paso local who wants to try a bit of new things. Had a little birthday dessert which was so sweet of them! The decor and mood was so cute, I need to come back!! read more

Farm to table places are everywhere, and some famous ones just don't live up to the hype. Grace and Rose, on the other hand, deliver excellent preparation of flavorful fresh and locally source ingredients. Served in a quaint but rather large living room and porch home in Paso, just two blocks away from the central park. We enjoyed the Kale & Fennel Salad, Brussel Sprouts, Pork Chop and Ribeye. With many great options for culinary establishments, the newly opened Grace and Rose is in my top 10 and will give the others a run for the money as they tweak their game. read more

We were seated upon arrival. We really liked the atmosphere. The restaurant is located in a residential neighborhood and it feels as if you are in someone's home and being treated to a delicious home-cooked meal. Our server was terrific. He was knowledgeable, prompt, and a delightful person. Hubby had the beet salad which was outstanding. I had the mussel chowder which is something I haven't tasted before. I've had plenty of chowders, but none had mussels. It was everything I imagined a mussel chowder should taste like. It wasn't too creamy or salty. It had the right amount of both without being overloaded with potatoes or heavy cream like some chowders hide behind. I absolutely loved the grilled branzino. The skin was crispy and the flesh was flaky and bursting with flavor. Even though I was getting full, I had to finish it because it was so delectable. Hubby said his pork chop was flavorful, but it was quite tough and difficult to chew. The food was seasoned well, but we wanted fresh cracked pepper. It was never offered to us and we had to ask. These are the reasons for 4 stars as opposed to 5. We def plan to return and try other items on their farm-to-table menu. read more

This might be a bold statement, but I think this is the best restaurant in SLO County! From the moment we walked up the stairs to the beautifully renovated house with its massive porch, we knew we were in for something special. We were seated outside, where the evening was warm and perfectly lit. The wine list immediately set the tone--Clos Solène, Tablas Creek, Law, Booker, and more. One of my pet peeves is when SLO County restaurants don't showcase the incredible wines made here, so this was a standout right away. We started with a bottle of Clos Solène sparkling rosé, paired with a dozen Morro Bay oysters and a kale salad--absolutely perfect. Next came the Etto pasta and corn chowder, both flawless. By then we were already blown away, but we couldn't resist continuing: a Clos Solène Pinot (spectacular), filet medallions with fries, and a sea bass with basil cream sauce. Every single dish was a 10. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress Jackie was outstanding, hostess Jen and the rest of the staff were warm and attentive, and meeting the chef and his wife sealed the deal--we left wanting to support them even more. If you're looking for the best food in the county, get here before reservations are impossible. We're still stunned by the experience! read more

First time there. It was great. Two of us had the pork chop. Very good and meaty with interesting flavors with the accompaniment. Two had the branzino and they loved it too. We ate inside, which was nice, but we wished we were outside on the porch, which was full. The service was very good. The wine list was very good, but the $40 corkage fee seemed excessive. read more

Absolutely amazing! So fresh and delicious, unfortunately we ate too fast to get any photos but everything was incredible. Pork chop, mushroom pasta, beet salad, the BREAD! Also a very impressive wine list and very knowledgeable somlier. Staff was very friendly and helpful read more

Had Pork chops, tenderloin , mussels. They charge for bread but you only get two pieces cut in half. For the price it should have been more bread Had an order of olives. They were not pickled. They were ok they needed more seasoning. The pork chop was good. The tenderloin was also good The mussels were ok but the broth needed more flavor. Service was bordering on hovering but they were friendly read more

Initially our reservation was for two, but wanted to add two and they were able to take us! Let me just say all the food was amazing and we all were very happy with our choices! We had the stuffed dates, beet salad, butternut squash soup, pork chop, chicken, fish and pasta. We shared everything and I can say it all was exceptional! Nice bottle of Chardonnay and it was the perfect dinner. Met the chef, and he was a nice guy! Our servers were excellent. The place was full but not loud-it's a mellow vibe and we sat inside enjoying our conversation. We will definitely be back. read more

Tried this new restaurant with a friend tonight. It is in a restored 110 year old farmhouse just a few blocks from downtown Paso. The restaurant profiles a farm to table style menu. The exterior has all the charm you'd expect from an old farmhouse. The interior is in a classic farmhouse chic style with ample tables on the wrap around deck. The outside seating appears to come with a throw blanket per each seat, a nice touch. I wished that our table had been on the patio, because I found it distractingly loud at our inside table....not the place for an intimate dinner. If you want that, ask for the patio. The beverage options are quite limited, unless of course you want wine. We were asked no fewer than 3 times about our wine choice, even though my friend doesn't drink and I opted not to. So, there are no hot (black) tea options and only a few non-alcoholic options. Glasses of wine start at $15 and up, even for a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. I think the price point is a bit high by the glass (as a local with wine club memberships that afford me discounts on my favorite local bottles, some of which do not cost much more than a glass does here). The corkage is pretty high at $40 per bottle (with 2 bottle minimum) and if you bring a bottle of wine they sell there, it is not eligible for corkage. My friend liked the chickpea soup and green bean special well enough. I ordered the brick chicken entree. The chicken itself was moist, tender and well flavored. Do not expect much in the way of sides for your entrees, as the menu infers these are to be ordered separately (smashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and one other option). My chicken came only with some odd greens and fennel, which seemed to be more like an edible garnish. That was fine for me, as I am a protein gal and the chicken itself was enough to satisfy me. But those with more robust appetites who want an entree with actual sides might be disappointed at the dish's price point of $36. I decided to try their only dessert, a basque cake that was supposed to be served with a maple & cider curd and honey whipped cream. The cake was a little dry, as another review stated. It came with a white liquid on one side and an amber liquid on the other. The white stuff (if this was the honey whipped cream) tasted tart and curdled. But apparently this was honey yogurt, instead of the whipped cream mentioned in their menu. The amber stuff was the curd, but it did not taste like maple or cider to me. I wish I'd passed on the dessert honestly. Our main server provided impeccable service. The staff covering water left our glasses empty too long, on too many occasions. I wish we'd been left a carafe of our own water, especially since that was our only beverage. I will likely try coming here again, but will ask for the patio and skip dessert. read more

Had the pleasure of dining at Grace & Rose last night and it was excellent all around, The restaurant is beautiful and we dined on the wrap around front porch. Started with the olives and goat cheese stuffed dates. The olives are served warm and they were delicious. Dates were perfect. We split the Brussel sprouts and kale fennel salad with the couple we dined with and it was perfect portion and so good. My wife had the branzino severed in beurre monte sauce with fennel fronds. She loved it. I had a perfectly cooked pork chop served with pancetta, white beans and a salsa verde. Might have been the best pork chop I've ever had. Service was great. One of the owners was our somme and had some great wine recommendations. Service was great, Highly recommend Grace & Rose. read more

The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Ambiance was great. Not stuffy or formal. Great setting for a nice dinner with friends or family or even date night. The service was great. We ordered several apps and shared an entree--everything arrived in a timely fashion, spaced at a nice cadence. The Grassy Bar oysters from Morro Bay and the goat cheese stuffed dates arrived together first. It was the perfect way to start the meal. The briny, creamy oysters were a nice offset to the sweet, crunch of the dates. Next, we had the tomato burrata toast and the kale fennel salad. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and delicious, but the tomato-burrata combination is a little worn out at this point. The salad was my favorite dish of the night--bright and tangy, perfectly seasoned with a little crunch from the almonds. Well done! Our entree was the NY Strip with Chimichurri, charred corn, shishitos and fingerlings. This was the most disappointing dish of the night, especially for the price. It was seasoned well and the presentation was nice, however it was super tough. I wish there had been more Chimichurri or another sauce to mask the toughness, but overall the dish ate dry. We closed out the meal with a lovely Basque cake of which I do not know the name. It was buttery and crisp at the edges, served with a dollop of whipped cream and red berry coulis. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return to Grace & Rose. Highly recommend! read more

A Series of Unfortunate Events. When making the reservation on Google there was no place to offer any details about our reservation or requests etc. But more on that later.. We ordered the Spring Pea Toast and Oysters. The oysters were local Morro Bay briny and delicious with a great minonette. Unfortunately we were told they were out of the Pea Toast. So we ordered the clams appetizer only to be told they were 86'd on those too. "It is part of the farm to table"( to not have enough for the number of reservations) There were only a few starters so missing 2 was huge. We ordered the Brussels which my son and husband enjoyed. I ordered the Beet Salad. So by now id eaten 3 oysters, and got handed a plate of beets. Barely a salad. Crunching down mint pieces trying to make this a meal. I ordered the Bike Bread, thank God because I was hungry. And a plate of beets wasn't cutting it. So far the birthday dinner was mediocre. My main was the Butterflied Branzino. The fish was delicious and I was lapping it up along with the accompanying Cauliflower florets, when I got a mouthful of bones. I was not warned that the mid section of this fish had not been deboned. What's worse? I had just asked for another glass of wine, but of course they don't carry a Pinot Grigio, who does? EVERYONE! Anyway, mouthful full of bones, the server starts to show me the wine options and being unable to speak, had to spit out those bones to tell her my order which was simply another glass of rose. When the wine arrived, it was poured into my husband's glass which had a Viogner in it. He was still enjoying it. My glass was about a quarter full of pink wine. Apparently since we switched seat position so I coukd watch my dog wasn't in anyone's way, we pessed up their robotic service and it was "our fault " for the mix up . It was corrected quickly but no smile. Just a bit of annoyance. My husband had the Brick Chicken which was ample and basic. Tasted great and innocuous as any other chicken dish in Paso. My son had the Pasta and said it was very good. Now, did we save room for dessert? Of course! We gad not eaten much honestly. If we had not ordered bread we really woukd have been starving. I and my husband are not fans of the "steakhouse" concept where you don't get a meal unless you order each part of it. But alas, that's the way it is now. A starch isn't gonna ruin a plate guys! And here's a thought...if you are out of 2 starters maybe offer a special or two? And correct me if im wrong but there's a clam farm somewhere? Because we did the math. G&H is closed Monday and Tuesday. The Branzino must come from the same supplier as the clams? It was Wednesday at 7. Big run on the clam dish from 5 to 7? Or were the clams unacceptable when they came in? Spring Peas i can see being unavailable this week, but how about those specials? Some Mighty Caps (everyone has those) or another creative farmy app? Again, no. Simply no. Which brings me to service. My son asked the busses for lots of ice for his water. When he brought it he slammed the large glass of ice down in front of him in what was kind of a funny way but also kind of sarcastic. It was subtle but unmissed rudeness. And our server? Attentive. Straight forward. Nice. Like an artificial sweetener. Leaves a weird taste in your mouth. So back to dessert. We ordered the Basque cake and a sorbet. Both arrived and not a mention of my birthday. Here's what I did. Since I couldn't write about our celebration on the reservation request, I left a voicemail during their day off Tuesday. Explaining in detail that we had a rez for 3 plus dog, that it was my birthday etc. No candle. No clue. So I asked for a lighter because anticipating this happening in this day and age of not giving a crap, I figured id be prepared. I brought a candle. They were somewhat appalled but I put the candle in the cake and they came over and lit it. My family and I had a little celebration. When I said I left a vm, it went like this. "OH we never got a voicemail". "We are so sorry we didnt receive that "....so it's a choice of A ..we got it but didn't make an effort. B someone got it and didn't write it down C we don't check voicemail. D..and this is the worst one..."you never called". Again, our fault. Our fault for switching seats so the wine gets poured in the wrong glass. My fault for biting into fish bones that should have been removed. Our fault for not calling read more
